We are protesting

against internment of people.

Tell Wilford it's

just one company

to pick up the yobbos

and no running battle

up Rossville Street.

Coming through

to barrier 14, sir?

Yes. Did you log that?

I'll do it on the secure link.

Thank you.

Six-Five, this is Zero. Come in.

Six-Five, Wilco. Out.

Okay, you're on, let's go. Move!

All call signs,

this is Five Niner.

Prepare to move.

Move, move, move, move!

We're going in, boys!

Let's go, let's go, come on!

Hey, guys, don't f*** about.

Don't f*** about.

Straight in there.

We're gonna hit 'em hard.

We know who we're picking up.

Go on, One Para.

Go and get them, and good luck.

Here they are, here they are!

F***ing hell, Gerry.

Get out of here.

There they are.

...against these people.

What's going on down there?

Christ, Ivan, they're coming in.

Stand your ground, people.

Stand your ground, people.

We have a right to be here.

Bastards!

F***'s sake.

Ah, f***ing hell!

F***ing bastards!

Look at 'em.

There's thousands of them.

Free Derry?

Stand by.

F***ing Free Derry.

Go! Go!

Let's get a search team!

Let's go in there.

Sergeant Major, let's get

a search team in there.

Jesus Christ, it's the Paras!

Help! Help!

Get those f***ing bastards!

We have to stop here!

They're covering the whole wall.

Up in those blocks of flats.

Jesus, get down, get down!

Watch yourselves, boys.

Get down.

Let's move in!

The sh*t's hitting the fan now.

Get back on our side

of the barricade.

Stand your ground.

It's only rubber bullets, and

they're firing above your heads.

We will not be moved.

Ivan, I don't like the look

of this.

Get the f*** out! Get out!

Get out, you lazy bastards!

They're firing live rounds!

This is not a hoax!

Get down! Get under cover!

Get under cover!

Keep going, behind the lorry!

Come on!

Get under cover!

Get under cover!

Go on, you Protestant f***ers!

Ah, don't tell me mammy.

Shoot me, you bastards!

Shoot me!

Get down, people.

Get down! Get down! Get in!

Tell them to stop shooting.

In the flats, there's a contact

by the left flank!

- Left, where? Where?

- By the flats!

That's all I can hear!

F***ing hell,

get your head down, will you?

What the f*** are you doing?!

Somebody move that way!

Back, back, back. Go on.

In between the lines!

Move back!

Go, go, go, go, go, folks, go!

We need to get the kids

off the barricade!

Jesus Christ, someone

tell those folks to get down!

Lads, get down!

Behind the barricade!

He's got a weapon!

Jesus, they've shot a man!

Can you help him?

Get down! They're shooting

live bullets! Get down!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

They've got a weapon!

There's no gunman

on the barricade!

There's nothing there!

I can't see any f***ing targets!

No, sir, there's...

There's no targets!

My God, they're shooting

children on the barricades!

Jesus Christ,

what are they doing?

Christ, stop it!

They're shooting them

in the back!

They're just picking them off!

Only aimed shots.

What are we firing at?

I can't see any f***ing targets!

Oh... oh, they've just shot

You're okay, Willy.

Just relax there for me.

Tell me mammy I'm sorry.

Tell me mammy I'm sorry.

Does anyone know

His name is Jim.

I took a guy out

by the phone box

and there was one crawling away

and I got him.

Lovely, sorted, mate...
